I have set up w32 on DC to get time from external server.. The time is synced ok, but when I run a w32tm /query /status, the server is NOT the 1st one.. Here's the output:

207657-screen-shot-2022-06-02-at-94807-am.png

The command I am using is this:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"0.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 1.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 2.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1 3.uk.pool.ntp.org,0x1

but I'm replacing "0.uk.pool.ntp.org" with au.pool.ntp.org as I'm in Australia..

However, when I later when /query /status, the "Source" is always a pictured..

How can I force it to use 1st in the list?

    Just saw this this morning after a restart:

    seems a w32tm /resync updates to external source. but its changes back to local cmos on restart...
    how can I make it stick?
